...After the whistling winds; after the white-gray sails, taut to their spars and ropes...
After the Sea-Ship...
By Walt Whitman
Today has become unexpectedly busy, my friends, but I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I hope you all had wonderful weekends.
Oh my gosh, this video clip idea is quite cool and inspiring...what a lovely song, too! "Make You Happy" by Josh Pyke.
He's on Parramata River in Sydney; you can see the Sydney Tower in the background.
It's not the soft mellow song that makes me happy. It's that lovely boat.
Who wouldn't want their own giant guitar boat?
How about sailing the seas on that amazing guitar boat and keep it afloat forever? xx

Erm, what's a guitar boat? Did I miss something?
ReplyDeleteI wish we had a blue sky like that here today, it's so grey and windy!
That's amazing! I thought I'd seen most quirky OZ things - but not that!! How do I get one?!?!
ReplyDeleteThat's SO cool! I want one!
ReplyDeleteSince I love my own guitar, yes I want to travel on the guitar boat. WOW!

WOW! love the guitar boat. I want one!
ReplyDeletehugs
Is a guitar boat like a love boat--with strings attached?--grin!
ReplyDeleteBetty, you do not remember, but a week ago you asked me a question about love. I answered it at great length--and the goddess in charge of comments on blogger decided you should not know what I wrote. Dammmit, that is SO frustrating!
Anyway, I love boats, used to live on a houseboat, for many years had boat in my back yard, 5 minutes to the deep blue Gulf of Mexico. LOVE the sea. My son named "Joe-Boats"...so THERE!
Thanks for dropping by steveroni...where do you get the time, I see you everywhere.
PEACE!
Steve
